BEAMLINE COMMISSIONING IS UNDERWAY

The new Advanced Photon Source storage ring is complete and the facility’s beamlines are in the process of returning to scientific operation. Every APS beamline will undergo operational, technical and scientific commissioning before restarting its general user program. Initial operations will be at a reduced current and availability as the machine is tuned up.
